He broke him down a couple of times. But he certainly wasn't trying to turn.

Stopped rolls and switches. Not much/anything he initiated.

Ankle pinch used to perfection. 

[CHROMEBIRD]

Solid wrestling from AOC. Haines had nothing for him.

[Dark Energy]

Penn State ankle ride.  Used against them.  Ugly wrestling either way.

[Formally140]

Oh be quiet. People be defending it if it’s PSU

[goheels1812]

Really happy for Austin O’Connor. Guy is a warrior. I’m glad he took over from neutral in the 3rd so I didn’t have to hear about the second round ankle ride lol 

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

6th year senior vs a true freshman. The physicality difference showed. 

[Pinnacle]

Austin seems like a great guy

[Dark Energy]

AOC looked liked the best guy coming in and he showed it.  Congrats to him and UNC.  Has UNC had a 2x champ before?

[VakAttack]

Haines is allegedly not able to hold the weight.... if he's at 165, he ain't winning next year if either Carr or KOT are there.

[CHROMEBIRD]

AOC created a blueprint for others to follow against Haines next season

[Caveira]

It’s only not stalling when psu does it right ?

 

Obviously sarcasm.

TJ Jaworksy had 3 and is still the best UNC wrestler ever. O’Connor is 2nd for me now.

Jaworsky won 3.

[D3UC157]

The ankle hook/pinch is ugly no matter the singlet.

That blue print works against everyone. AOC beat everyone this year. 

[Packard]

Not a very exciting match by AOC, but glad he got this one. Definitely should have been hit with stalling, but Haines had nothing for him.

TJ Jaworsky was a 3x

[CraigOR]

Can KOT solve Carr the 3rd time around?

Easy to say.  He is going to get better. I’m not counting him out.

What’s that? By a grown adult and using old man strength? Think Haines will out grow that blue print

*Be stronger and more athletic than Haines and more technically skilled*

Got it!

There wasn't really a game plan there, AOC is just better (right now) and more physical.  This match wasn't close.  AOC was always the best guy.

He’s gone through a lot. Last year he tore his ACL and MCL and gutted out the season to still all American. I heard it was a hard decision to come back, but he wanted to prove himself at 157 and boy did he do it. So happy for the guy. 

[flyingcement]

First match took 25 minutes good lord

*whispers* I think Humphrey’s was the 2nd best 157. He physically matched O’Connor in the semis.
